Every year XXL Magazine puts out their annual Freshman class cover, where they give fans a new crop of hip-hop talent to check for.

In the past B.o.B, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa and Macklemore have all graced the list and this year's cover boasts 12 fresh faces with a range of talents. Some guys have had hits and some have been building strong fanbases a bit under the radar; some are from the East Coast, some West, some Midwest, some South. But they're all sure to get fans talking one way or another.
